High Ground Underground

10/27/18 The Absurdity of Blaming Trump for Everything The Left (including media) are very presumptuous that Trump caused one nut job to mail bombs to prominent Democrats, or another to shoot up a synagogue.   And that if only he changed his tone, all would be well.   They claim to all be psychoanalysts or clairvoyants, attributing causes, although they are equally sure the Bernie Sanders supporter who shot up a ball diamond full of GOP congressmen was not Bernie’s fault.   Of course we know that widespread Trump derangement causes one to look constantly for another reason to impeach him, however far the stretch, and to tout one’s moral superiority , and demonize all opponents.   My sense is that many or most Leftists/Democrats really don’t know anyone who they are aware of who voted for Trump, or the real reasons – partly because conservatives are often more reserved about it precisely because of the uncivility and brutality of the Left.   And so th...

10/5/18 Moderate Susan Collins gave an unusually reasoned and reasonable speech today, in the midst of so much political & emotional cacophony, justifying her support of Judge Kavenaugh.  Worth hearing if you haven’t.   https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/kavanaugh-fight-susan-collins-stands-up-to-democratic-bullies-and-becomes-a-profile-in-courage It now appears, together w. Democrat Joe Manchin’s support, that his confirmation is assured, finally hopefully putting at least this episode of Leftist rage, intimidation, character assassination & personal/career destruction (to achieve political ends) to bed.  Though they do talk of plan B to impeach him if confirmed.  And as has been said, there were 2 victims here – both Ford who had wished to remain anonymous, and the judge’s good name (& his family).  But the Dems care little about that or truth or presumption of innocence in pursuit of their objectives – just as ...

I keep looking for Trump’s jack-booted Nazis destroying the country & curtailing free speech – let me know if you see any. The nearest thing seems to be the Antifa thugs on the Left, who most closely resemble the Brown Shirts & SS in eliminating dissent from their views. No, former FBI & CIA officials who repeatedly lied , leaked & allowed political bias to influence their work fully deserve revocation of their security clearances – regardless of their unusually outspoken political views. Gee, I seem to hear these “sil enced” victims now more than ever. Additionally, the press distracts us by screaming bloody murder that it curtails free speech when the president exercises his free speech by criticizing them for not providing America with objective news about truly important issues (which Harvard studies have proven). Not to mention the TV/cable news group think. These group-think news print propagandists coordinated to publish an anti-...

Even president Obama’s administration identified Antifa as a terrorist organization. But of course that was conveniently forgotten or swept under the rug when they could be used as a tool of the now clearly Left-leaning media & Democrat Party’s narrative characterizing conservatives and especially Trump as haters and racist, and supporters of greedy capitalists. No, they became, just as the old KKK, the terrorist arm of the Democrat Party, used to intimidate into silence and submission all those falsely accused of these crimes who bear guilt by fabricated name association with some marginal group of nuts. They even use the same tactics of bravely hiding their faces – so proud of themselves and their cause. Of course they have an air of legitimacy, ostensibly nobly vanquishing haters (conservative speakers), racists (all conservatives) and class oppressors (all non-socialists). Which apparently gives them the right to engage in the vilest of tactics – incitement, assault (phy...

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTr…/status/1018955906690584576 At least 2 political risks possibly in the graphic above, actually – one, going ahead to meet with Putin when some said he should call it off after the 12 Russian indictments, and second, not publicly trying to humiliate Putin with accusations like the reporters & Dems were goading him to do at the press conference. I almost sense some of Trump’s defiance of such goading was reflexively contrarian out of his despisement of much of the media. Of course they’re motivated by lingering anger that Trump won the election (despite findings the Russians didn’t impact it), and possibly some fear that Trump might actually succeed at his own Russian reset where Obama/Clinton clearly failed. I guess they forgot that Obama once said that the idea of public shaming of Putin on the world stage doesn’t read the Russian people well. No, Trump has been nothing if not consistent in opening dialogues with leaders of our chief a...
